Official flyer. handmade. cardboard & paint by ARN
2016
After graduating high school and throughout college,
I kept painting quietly & consistently but never saw it as a full body of work.
until one day, walking home from LBCC, I realized the collection I’d been waiting to create had been growing right in front of me. I couldn't be selfish anymore longer, not showing any art to anyone. That moment inspired a few final pieces
( sketched in my book below) to complete the story,
and led to my first studio art show hosted in my own creative space.
in Downtown Los Angeles.

studio 200
the name came to me while I was juggling school, friends, love & everything else life was throwing at me. I wasn’t putting much time into promo, sketching, or even buying canvas, most of it I found on my daily walks through the alley. I liked that. No pressure, no rules, no art teacher or critic just freedom to make whatever I wanted, however I wanted. i loved the raw feelings i was having alot of first for me at the time. i just went.

Stephen King X
ARN Bookcovers"
I took a college course where we had to read a bunch of Stephen King books fell in love instantly. I ended up buying some of my favorites from class to paint my own versions of the covers. It’s always been a dream of mine to paint a book cover, and this felt like the perfect place to start. I highly recommend these books they’ll change you. They’re definitely on the longer side, but so worth the read.
I started with IT, knowing it was my dad’s favorite horror movie. There’s so much the movie left out (understandably), but man… King doesn’t hold back.
